Woudn't missing out in september action mean you have the easiest draw ??

Not when Carton and the Kangaroos are involved in September

Collingwood & tough draw should never be in the same sentence. And I wouldn't worry about september. You can plan your holidays for this year now if you like.

Id rather be planning holidays for a year than forever.

Much as it pains me to say it, I'm beginning to agree with you.

Given who you support, it wouldn't be advised to come out from underneath your rock and discuss anything related to football successes with a Kangaroos supporter.

Never a truer word said!

I wouldn't know to be honest. I was just responding to an uneducated smartarse remark. However I stick by the draw comment. This is the last thing Collingwood supporters should be whining about.

Success?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Um, it was pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek dude, or didn't you catch on to that?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

If he took it as fact, it's fine by me. But yes, it was tongue in cheek. If I was trying to be a smartarse I would have said the "Gold Coast Kangaroos"

 

[The Royal Sampler]

^ Actually I meant the whole gripe over the draw being tongue-in-cheek, which apparently was lost on mark73.

Then you'd have to try a little harder.

It wasn't lost at all. I do realise it's Bay13 after all. But there are Collingwood supporters who actually believe this, which frankly has me dumbfounded.

 

[mark73]

Success?

No I was thinking more the 13-3 win/loss record between 1997-2006, but thanks for your contribution.

And we still managed to beat you guys in a final

You say that like it means something. You do realise that one of those many many many many many victories was a 50pt qualifying finals thrashing in 1999 don't you?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

In North's defence, they did well getting there to begin with. Didn't have a great squad, and through hard work had what I term a super season given their position. You guys then got smashed by ADELAIDE

BTW, me, take anything on Bay 13 seriously? You've got to be kidding

Umm we annihilated you in the EF in 05

Yeah it must be great to have that to cling to. Pity about the 13 we have. When you grow some legs in a debate with a North fan, in other words, when Port Adelaide are no longer viewed as a pathetic joke to North fans, one of them "might" actually even take you seriously.

Good comeback You're in trouble now Mark

Can we please keep posts in this thread to how hard done by Collingwood is with this unfairly tough draw we have?

Dunno about draws but now with Buckley gone as well as Didak, Holland, Tarrant gone and Rocca struggling there wouldn't be a better time to be playing Collingwood. There are no excuses for us not winning round one.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I was saying the same thing about you guys with Thompson out, but honestly I'm beginning to think it's going to be a long season for both our clubs' supporters.

Good thing I'm going to brain them in SuperCoach.

So who's going at the top of the draft this year?
